Supernatural/Anime Crossover: Where Did My Romantic Comedy Go?

If it's just to entertain Kujo Toru, the two sisters can squeeze in, but if there's another person, it won't be enough.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lady Kikyo!"

"Come with me."

Nothing else happened after that.

The two groups separated immediately.

Under the village chief's organization, the villagers began clearing the stream blocked by rubble and the wooden houses damaged by the centipede, then began to count heads and bandage the wounded.

Kujo Toru and Iki Hiyori followed behind Kikyo, heading towards the shrine on the back mountain.

Throughout the journey, Kikyo appeared aloof, but her attitude was actually quite friendly. However, her younger sister, the little girl named Kaede, kept glaring at Kujo Toru with dissatisfaction, looking sullen.

My sister and I have always lived inside the shrine. Our sleeping space is already quite cramped, and now we have to squeeze in space to accommodate a man and that woman in strange clothes!

It would have been perfectly fine to let those two stay in the village, I don't know what my sister was thinking!

With this mindset, even when they arrived at the shrine, Kaede didn't give the two a friendly look. It wasn't until Kikyo gently tapped her on the head that she went back to sleep in a huff.

Inside the rear shrine.

"I'm sorry, it's just me and the child living here on weekdays, there are no extra beds, so we'll have to make do with these two."

Kikyo took out a thin quilt from the wooden box. Judging from its cleanliness and wear, it was probably the shrine maiden's own slept in, which was quite a show of sincerity.

Kneeling on the ground, she gently spread the bedding on the wooden floor, her scarlet hakama showcasing the shrine maiden's perfectly rounded waist and hip curves.

With his back to the two of them, a cold voice suddenly rang out:

"Are you a deity?"

Volume 1: Chapter 171 (6K) When in doubt, first call on your teammates.

Although it is the rear shrine of the shrine, it is no different from an ordinary house.

The room was quite rudimentary, with only a box in the corner and a bow hanging on the wall, along with some bottles and jars.

The scent of herbs filled the air.

As soon as the shrine maiden uttered those words, Hiyori Iki froze.

He turned to look at Kujo Toru, waiting for his reaction.

Having jumped into the ancient well and arrived at this strange place, Kujo Toru is now her greatest support.

"They should be considered gods."

Kujo Toru did not hide anything.

To those with clairvoyance, the existence of deities is quite obvious.

Even Ikihime could recognize a god in a crowd, let alone Kikyo.

Denying it at this point would only make you look ridiculous.

Of course, more importantly, he did not sense any malice from the priestess.

"I never imagined that there would still be gods and humans walking on the earth. May I ask your name, Your Excellency?"

It is both human and god; among the knowledge Kikyo has come into contact with, there is only one explanation: a living god.

Although she had been a shaman in this village for nearly twenty years, she had never actually seen a god.

The shrine does not enshrine any deities.

If we really have to say who the main deity of this shrine is, then it can only be the Shikon Jewel enshrined in the main hall.

That's why, when she was in the village, she took the initiative to ask the shrine to entertain Kujo Toru.

This is her way of showing respect to the gods.

Despite this, Kikyo's voice remained calm, lacking the usual joy and excitement one would feel upon encountering a god.

It's like chatting with an ordinary traveler.

This behavior, on the contrary, calmed down Hiyori Iki's anxious heart.

"Just call me Kujo Toru."

The priestess remained silent, only nodding quietly.

The room returned to silence, broken only by the rustling sound of the mattress being made.

After a moment, she stood up again, her eyes, as clear as autumn water, swept over the two of them, and she nodded slightly.

"Lord Kujo, the shrine is simple, please make do with it for the night."

After saying that, he walked out, gently closing the wooden door behind him.

They did not inquire about Hiyori Iki's identity, nor were they curious about why her clothes were so strange.

She could tell that the girl was a priestess serving the gods.

It's just that it's a bit too immature, and its spiritual power is a bit too weak.

Seeing that Kikyo had left, leaving only himself and Kujo Toru in the small wooden house, Hiyori Iki quickly grabbed the wooden sheath beside him, handed it to Kujo Toru, and told him about everything that had happened since he jumped into the well.

Kujo Toru did not interrupt her, but listened attentively.

Only after Iki Hiyori finished speaking did he take the sword sheath and tap the brass clasp:

"Come out, I have something to ask you."

A milky-white ball of light emerged from it, transforming into the shape of a little old man with a mouthful of sharp teeth, floating in mid-air.

"My Lord, what do you wish to ask?"

"Where is this place? What's the story behind that ancient well?"

The doubts in my heart could finally be asked.

Unlike modern times, the air here is thick with foul odors and resentment. If one lives in such an environment for a long time, even a normal person will develop mental problems.

Even without the power of the Ama-no-Murakumo erupting, the boundary lines of this world have already been completely blurred.

The present world and the ordinary world overlap, so even ordinary people can look directly at monsters and vengeful spirits.

Judging from the village's familiarity with the centipede woman, being attacked by monsters was already a daily occurrence for them.

It's almost like... the Noragami world continuing to slide backward in its current direction.

However, with the billions of people in the Noragami world, the consequences of the complete collapse of the boundary line would be far more terrifying than they are now.

The fact that the scabbard allowed Iki Hiyori to jump into the well with it clearly shows that it knew about the well.

"Would you believe me if I said I didn't know where this is?"

The white-haired, white-bearded old man gave Kujo Toru a smirk, trying his best to appear more sincere.

The temperature in the air suddenly dropped.

The old man quickly spread out his hands and spoke urgently:

"All I know is that the well connects different eras, because seven hundred years ago, I was thrown into that well by Totosai, which is why I ended up at Higurashi Shrine!"

"But if you ask me where this is, I really don't know! I can only be sure that this is not the era I lived in!"

In its original era, there was a Great Dog General who commanded all the demons and monsters, restraining them from harming humans. It was nothing like it is now.

The pervasive resentment made him wonder if he had arrived in the underworld.

The more humans there are, the more negative emotions they experience, the more foul air there is in the world, and the stronger the monsters become.

Although slaughtering humans can generate a considerable amount of foul energy in a short period of time, overall, it actually makes the monsters weaker.

Look at all this, filled with the resentment of people on their deathbeds. I wonder how many people have died. Could it be that there isn't even a powerful demon in this era...?

The old man wondered to himself, and felt that this was very likely.

Kujo Toru looked at it and nodded, temporarily putting the matter aside.

As for the specific era, we can ask others later.

As for the fact that the ancient well can travel through time, it's not too surprising to him.

Ancient texts circulating in the Seifu Taisha Shrine also mention that some strange objects can do this, and indeed, some people have actually traveled back to the past.

Now he's more concerned about something else.

Turning his head to glance at Iki Hiyori, who was sitting obediently beside him, Kujo Toru asked a crucial question:

"Can she travel back to her original time through the ancient well?"

He didn't care. After he dealt with the Ama-no-Kurakumo, the training mission would be over, and he would return to the real world. He could come back when the next training mission started.

But Iki Hiyori is not an option.

The girl stared intently at the old man, waiting for his reply.

Cold sweat began to trickle down my forehead.

"Um... I think... probably... maybe it's possible..."

His voice trailed off, sounding quite weak.

At that time, it was only thinking about sealing the Ame-no-Murakumo, and even when it let Iki Hiyori take it to jump into the ancient well, it was with a try-it-out mentality. It never thought about going back.

Feeling that piercing gaze, it just wanted to burrow into its sword sheath and never come out again.

But I dare not.

what……

Kujo Toru let out a breath, stood up, and walked straight out of the cabin, leaving behind only one sentence:

"Hiyori, do whatever you want. Just don't break the scabbard or demolish the house. You can do whatever you want."

"it is good!"

The girl rolled up her sleeves, and her joints cracked.

A faint light shone from his fingertips, and he began to vent his resentment.

After closing the wooden door, ignoring the chaotic noises behind him, Kujo Toru focused his attention on the system panel.

The great demon 'Snail Clam (Fallen God - Kusanagi)' has been defeated.

[Level Upgraded]

Current Spiritual Power Level: 17

[Idle Skill Points: 5]

During the battle with the snail clam, he leveled up a full three levels in one go.

This is even because he is using an avatar, which halves his experience gain.

We're getting closer and closer to level 20.

At level 10, his talent awakening granted him two guardian spirits, the Golden Crow and the Moon Rabbit, and their effects were indeed very powerful.

While the fact that the clam was able to be defeated this time was partly due to its unwillingness to be controlled by the Kusanagi and become a puppet, and thus deliberately seeking death, the Golden Crow Guardian Spirit also played a significant role.

If he were to simply manifest his level 25 spiritual power, even with the Divine Sword in hand, his performance wouldn't be much better than Yato's.

The difference between a great demon and a demon may seem to be just a difference in prefix, but the difference between them is like heaven and earth.

Great demons are walking natural disasters, possessing power equal to that of great gods, beings that humans can hardly contend with in a lifetime.

The difference between a monster and a great monster is greater than the difference between a dog and a human.

Although the clam itself was only pushed to the level of a great demon by Ama-no-Kurakumo after the fall of the gods, even the weakest great demon is still a great demon.

The Golden Crow Guardian Spirit's ninety-nine weapon forms allowed him to withstand two Prison Dragon Strike attacks from the Winning Clam head-on.

So what will the talent awakening be at level 20?

Kujo Toru was really looking forward to it.

The bright moon gradually sets in the west.

The morning star hung in the sky, shining brightly.

The pitch-black night sky gradually began to turn into a deep blue.
